Just a quick question about finding the magnetic induction field B on the axis of a circular coil shown on page 7 on http://www.physics.gla.ac.uk/~dland/ELMAG305/Elmag305txt5.pdf
I understand why the field must be along the x-axis but why does (dlxr )x become dlrsin(alpha)? alpha doesn't seem to be the angle between the dl and r, dlxr would equal |dl|| r |sin(x) where x would be the angle between the dl and r. My problem is x and alpha don't seem to be the same angle so i don't know how to advance with this problem. Any help?
